Top mount question
Are they supposed to be free movement? As in spin all the way around or are they just supposed to have a little side to side movement? Putting mine back together and can't decide if they're right or not. Also should I grease under the dust cap where the nut is?
Cheers Ash |
btt anyone?

Recently changed my shocks all round
Spin round-yes they did Side to side - my genuine top mounts didn't do side to side movement at all Hope that helps mate |

They should spin around really easily.
Your only clamping on the central 24mm od of the bearing, leaving it free to rotate. Have you got the cone-shaped washers up the the right way? Cone side up. Otherwise, the bearings have failed. |
yes the cones are the right way up - ill take them apart again this weekend an see how they are - maybe the orange bits underneath are at the wrong angle? they came apart fine so no idea about the bearings (maybe i have tightened up the nut onto too much of the bearing?
cheers for the input guys |
The cone washer stops the orange top perch contacting the bearing.
Central top mount nut should be 49N/m. |
ah. i may have ****ed up then. i tightened them with an impact wrench
